Just a small note on an advantage of using .tsv instead of .txt (even though the file contents should be identical in the two cases):
If you are on windows, you can easily associate the .tsv extension with your favorite statistics program (or ImageJ if you want), and then just double-click the file for a direct import there. If you use the command "assoc .tsv=Excel.Sheet" in a command-line window with administrator rights, Windows will thereafter open the file directly and correctly in Excel without Excel doing any (usually wrong) attempt to guess the format of the contents, as it does with the .txt extension.

Servus Herbie,
I fully confirm that you had already indicated me the "Tab Separated Values" files within your very first reply.
But as I already mentionned it: "When the sage points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger"!!!
Thus following your mail, I was expecting this feature to be accesible through a checkbox choice within the "I/O Options" which I actually didn't see.
This is why I had replied to you asking whether what you were mentioning was an ImageJ or only a Fiji feature.
I didn't get it that the use of "Tab Separated Values" actually meant just saving the files with the extension ".tsv".
And it is only following a private mail I received later from Wayne that I had fully understand what you meant on the first place.
So I'm a very fast learner, but only if somebody explains things for a long time, a very long time!!!
Kindest regards,
Philippe

Salut Philippe,
that's funny because I've mentioned the "Tab Separated Values"-file format (.tsv) before:
"Under "I/O Options" you can set the file extension for tables.
"Tab-separated values" is also supported."
Furthermore and mentioned as well before, there is no problem to correctly open Results-tables saved as text-files in ImageJ per Import...
Just wondering
Herbie
